It is Opening Day for the Whitecaps

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. (WZZM) -- The Whitecaps are gearing up for opening day at Fifth Third Ballpark.

The game starts at 6:35 against the Dayton Dragons. To celebrate the game there is an opening day bash with an all you can eat BBQ from 6 to 7:30. It includes boneless wings, hamburgers, and drinks for $25 a person if you want to get out and mingle with the fans.

The team itself is all about business says coach Larry Parrish. "We're hoping to mix in winning along with development. Teaching them how to win is a little bit of development also. We're going to try and balance those two out. We're going to try and win but not at the expense of hurting an arm or a player."
